This is an example of why the Chinese education system desperately needs more funding to bring in a better class of teacher and also the people who run the schools.

It's not uncommon for teachers to have relationships with their students, though it's normally recognised as illegal. But a campaign of attacks over nearly 20 years and the school ignoring complaints shows something is wrong.

It may be an issue with authority figures in China not being used to being questioned or held to account, but I think it's also down to the wrong sort of people being attracted to teaching. If you're super-bright, why would you take the poor salary that teaching gives?

You mean like the rape culture in British schools that some Asian woman exposed in England...?

Impressive work from the CIA on Hungary.

They are behaving like a Chinese University campus set up in Hungary would magically spread communism and tranform Hungary to a CPC client state lol

Why people protest on a lot of issues is difficult to understand. I'm not sure why a Chinese university campus would annoy so many Hungarians. Shame we don't have Hungarian protesters here, they could explain it.

It could just be that Orban's populist policies are not as effective as they used to be and some people are suspicious of whatever he does now. Much like how Trump went off the rails such that Democrats and Independents couldn't trust him anymore.

Infrastructure? East of living? What in the fuck.. And this isn't some random pundit, it's one of the most powerful politicians in India.

So basically they completely surpassed China and have already reached Western living standards, and STILL growing 3x faster than the West so inevitably in 5-10 years they will be a hyperpowah. Supapowah is already done.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Are you saying that Chinese educators need a couple more decades to abuse their students until they have time to catch up to standards in other countries? Or are you suggesting that there was no rape in China until recently?

Generalization. Projection. Deflection. Stereotype. Double standard.
1. Generalize an isolated incident to the failure of the whole society.
2. Project the failure as the flaw of the Chinese government.
3. Deflect similar incidents in the West.
4. Stereotype mainland Chinese as sheep that would automatic deference to authority.
5. Making excuse for the West when Western parents and police also deference to religious schools, organization and priests for abuses

There are no mental gymnastics. People don't get rich (at least apart from US evangelicals) being a priest or scout master. Those are volunteer positions, albeit priests can have a minimum lifestyle supported by their church. So pay isn't realistically going to be an issue. Rather it was about having unsupervised access to children.In contrast teachers normally spend the vast majority of their time with children in the presence of others. Teaching is also a paid profession supposed to support an entire lifestyle and potentially a family. In many countries they are well paid because educators are respected. What adequate pay for a teacher should be is up for discussion. However, given the poor provision of education in China, particularly in poorer provinces, pay is an important issue.

The teacher in question here was from Hunan province. I couldn't tell you if Luxi county was especially poor, but Hunan itself is not exactly Shanghai or Beijing. So that would in my mind make pay seem even more of a factor. If you disagree, are you aware of similar stories from wealthier Chinese cities?

The point isn't that Chinese teachers are all potential rapists so their pay needs to be increased, it's that overall education in China has very patchy provision and that increasing pay across the board would help attract better people who go into other industries. Anyone can teach if they have some empathy and are moderately smart (and don't hate children). It's not like professional sports where realistically there only so many people you can recruit. All those young graduates who look for jobs every year could teach - if the pay was right.

Better pay was part of the discussion I had over Chinese demographics recently here and how in my view many people were put off children due to the very high cost of getting into good schools.

I don't know what is your points. Many rural towns and urban cities in the US have extremely poor schools. Many schools in the UK are underfunded and in the poor condition. Hong Kong has A/B/C/D schools that C and D schools basically have more poor teachers. Every countries want better schools and more education funding but where are the money.

The best teachers cram into the cities and those who can't have to stay in less developed regions. It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out those people are probably not the sort of people you would want teaching your children.

What is your point? Every countries in the world have the same issue. As the best and brightest teachers want to work in the best school districts that pay the most.

The US Senate is one of the main pillars of the Government i.e. the legislature, the body that can make and change laws. A senator i.e. a lawmaker is as representative of their own government as it gets.

If you were to say the senators don't represent the US "Administration" which is the executive branch of the Government, then you'd be technically correct. But they're most definitely representing the US Government in all conducts of an official
